Future of the TEF

TEF metrics peer review group

We established a metrics peer review group to undertake expert peer review of the OfS’s proposed statistical methods for the future TEF metrics. The group is also tasked with commenting on the presentation and clarity of the new TEF metrics from a metrics user perspective.

The remit of the group is purely advisory, providing expert input on the TEF metrics, with information flowing between this group and the TEF advisory group.

Activity

The metrics peer review group has met 11 times between October 2019 and October 2021, and will operate up to the point of delivery of the new TEF framework later in 2022.
